Seriously, that Navigator's interior is impressive, and has impressed a lot of YouTube vloggers like Salomondrin, whose used to Rolls interiors. Even the people sitting in the third row are coddled. The outside looks like an evolution of the outgoing Navigator. There are people who don't like the wheels, though.
I lost interest once you mentioned "vloggers" and "Salomondrin".

I don't know of any special one-off M7, but I do remember that BMW has built a V16 E32 which stays in their warehouse.

And I doubt it... too big of a company. Ferrari or Lambo can do that.

Spend some time on mobile.de and there are numerous E31 850CSi's and some in BMW Individual colors and interiors.

And the E31 840i M Sport with a V8 and 6-Speed manual are also on there. Has the CSi aero and wheels so look close.

That website is an utterly dangerous rabbit hole to venture down into, you have been warned.

Someday an 850CSi will be mine!
You better save your money! I have to go see this the next time I'm up in LI.

I would say the E39 M5 was the best 90s BMW. But maybe it counts more as an early 2000's car?

"multi-CD changer"?!?! I'm going to have to see it to believe it. Better yet, I'll "confirm the accuracy of the included equipment by calling (them) prior to purchase"

This price makes no sense...maybe in 20-30 years, but not today. Sorry, I'm hating...I know it's a CSI and not a civic 8 series.

Agreed. I'll give my impressions if I see it.

I still remember my first time seeing the beautiful black machine. Took my breath away. Still have a major soft spot for that car, especially the unicorn 850csi with the manual trans.

Yup...my friend had a red 1995 850csi. It had something like 3000 miles on it. Kept it in his garage mostly. He died a few years ago and I lost track of the car unfortunately.
